On trial for murder, Cletus Busters needs a miracle. He has a record. He was found in a restricted area holding the victim's frozen severed head in his hands. And with the trial less than a week away, his lawyer has made exactly two motions -- heading to the bar to knock back a few, and begging Tubby Dubonnet to take over the case.

Tubby has a lot on his plate -- a ex-wife who wants him to befriend her new boyfriend, a daughter who wants support for his surprise grandchild, and a female boxer who wants his protection. But defending a man found with a frozen severed head will be good for Tubby's business. The question is, if Cletus is being set up, and the real killer's still out there, will it be good for Tubby's health?
